Features

EXTREMELY COMPACT 2-STROKE ENGINE

ENGINE
The modern, extremely compact 2-stroke engine fitted with an automatic clutch sets the standard in its class with great, manageable power. Thanks to the 3-shaft design, the crankshaft is close to the bike's center of gravity. This not only benefits the handling, but also allows for a flow-optimized intake angle into the reed valve - a prerequisite for maximum performance.

CLUTCH
Developed by KTM, the centrifugal multi-disc automatic clutch provides manageable acceleration and makes riding this motorcycle the easiest thing in the world. It can be adjusted, without tools, to the specific requirements of the track and the rider in minutes.

POWER REDUCTION
For absolute beginners the engine power can be reduced to a moderate 5.5hp using a kit from the Power Parts program.

IMPROVED ERGONOMICS

BODYWORK
For 2016 the KTM engineers designed all new plastics that provide perfect ergonomics and contact points for the rider, maximum freedom of movement and better comfort of the seat. In addition, advanced design solutions for the new front and rear fenders are prime examples of an intelligent design, which guarantees maximum stability through a well thought-out structure and mounting.

FRAME
The modern frame produced by WP Performance Systems is made of lightweight, high strength chromoly steel profiles and combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional rigidity. It guarantees easy handling and precise cornering, along with outstanding stability. For 2016 the subframe is adapted to match the new bodywork.

RADIATOR
Like the big KTM bikes, the 50 SX has a liquid cooling system, which even cools the crankcase. Generously sized radiators ensure outstanding heat dissipation for high reliability even in extreme duty.

GRAPHICS
Derived from the new generation of the full-size SX bikes, the new in-mold graphics make the small KTM look even cooler. Its frame has a super-rugged black polymer powder coating.
